They were identified as two men, one from Brigham City and another from Logan. Both were brought to Brigham City Community Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, police said.

Officials are asking the public to stay off the ice on the northeast side of the reservoir, as the ice there is thin and compromised due to efforts to save the snowmobilers.

Mantua Reservoir is located near the town of Mantua, roughly 60 miles north of Salt Lake City.
